Please arrive promptly at the time of your booked time slot to allow time for briefing. Changing times are included in your time slot; arriving late will shorten the duration of your experience.

changing & belongings.

As a compact location with limited space, we advise bringing minimal personal belongings.
A small changing area with hooks and shelves is available for storing belongings at your own risk. This area is separated from the sauna by a frosted glass door, providing privacy and a heat barrier. Any items that do not fit in the changing area will need to be left outside.
Changing time is included within your booking at Avon. If you choose to use the changing space at the end of your session, we invite you to do so within your booked time to ensure a smooth and respectful transition between guests.
